Meadowvale Suburb Profile

Tucked away on Bundaberg’s northern side, Meadowvale offers a quiet, semi-rural lifestyle while still keeping the convenience of town within easy reach. This is the kind of place that appeals to those who want space, privacy, and a slower pace, yet without feeling isolated.

Lifestyle and Community

Meadowvale is known for its large acreage blocks, leafy surroundings, and relaxed atmosphere. It’s the sort of suburb where neighbours still wave as they pass and where the sound of birds often replaces traffic noise. With wide open spaces, it’s perfect for families wanting room for kids to play, people with hobbies that need a bit of land, or anyone simply wanting to enjoy more breathing space.

Despite its quiet feel, community ties remain strong. Local events and gatherings in the wider region are well attended, and being just a short drive from central Bundaberg means residents enjoy the best of both worlds – peaceful living with city conveniences close at hand.

Amenities and Services

Daily essentials are only a quick drive away, with North Bundaberg’s shops, medical centres, and services easily accessible. Bundaberg CBD is also just under 15 minutes by car, offering a wider range of dining, shopping, and professional services. Residents often take advantage of both nearby urban facilities and the abundance of rural produce and roadside stalls in the surrounding countryside.

Schools and Education

Families in Meadowvale are well-catered for with access to several nearby schools. North Bundaberg State School and North Bundaberg State High School are popular choices, and there are a number of quality childcare centres and private schools in Bundaberg for those wanting alternatives.

Recreation and Outdoors

Nature is a big part of Meadowvale’s appeal. Larger blocks mean space for home gardens, sheds, and hobby farming. For weekend outings, residents are within easy reach of the Burnett River for fishing and boating, or a scenic drive to the coast for a day at the beach. Parks and sporting facilities in nearby suburbs add further options for an active lifestyle.

Property Market

Meadowvale’s property market is defined by spacious blocks, lifestyle properties, and a mix of modern homes and established residences. Buyers are often drawn by the value for money compared to smaller inner-city allotments, as well as the chance to secure more land for future growth. Renters seeking privacy and extra space also find Meadowvale an attractive choice.

Why we love Meadowvale

Meadowvale captures the essence of country living without giving up the perks of town life. It’s peaceful, friendly, and full of space to spread out, while Bundaberg’s shops, schools, and services remain close enough for convenience. For anyone looking for balance – a calm home base with everything still within reach – Meadowvale is a wonderful place to settle.
